Be it known that before me Titus Brown a Justice of the Peace in and for the county of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire personally appeared Stephen Fuller of Francestown in said county and made solemn oath in due form of law that he is the same Stephen Fuller named in a certificate dated Sept. 27. 1790 by virtue of which he has drawn a pension of thirty two dollars annually, which certificate is signed by Samuel Tenny; that in the latter part of September 1777 he entered the service of the United States for one month as a private Soldier in Capt. Oliver Clapp's company of Mas- sachusetts militia in Col. Benjamin Harrison's Regiment & marched with his company to Little Compton in the State of Rhode Island on what was called at that day the "Secret Expedition"; that after his arrival at Little Compton he and others from his company were set on a boat for Boatsmen; that on the 17th of October the Boatsmen to a large number were marched to Tiverton; that they then went on board the boats which were at that place & rowed them down to Little Comp- ton; that while passing near Fogland Ferry in the evening of the same day, they were fired upon by the enemy and by one of the shots the thumb of his right hand was destroyed; that he was then sent to the hospital at Providence & remained there until nearly well and then went home; that he resided at Walpole, Massachusetts at the time he entered the service; resided at the time in Francestown in the State of New- Hampshire & has resided there for the space of about fifty four years past; was eighty years old on the eighteenth day of De- cember last; and that he is not able to state his present height, but when he was a young man he was six feet and one inch.

Sir
In your letter of the 13 th of May last, enclosing the "new certificate" of Stephen Fuller an Invalid of the Revolution you say "I have directed the Pension Agent at Portsmouth H. H. to pay him on the production of the proper vouchers." In September last the proper vouchers were produced, but the Pensioner's name was not found on the agent's roll, and the money due (3 yrs pension $902) was not obtained. This we suppose is the result of some error which the Pensioner desires you would correct & inform me thereof.
